Dried Out Food

Amanda was gifted with a Food Dehydrator this past Christmas. Below you will see some of the foods we have dried out. Bananas would be the favorite. The raisins were really good, they just took a week to dehydrate. I should have put a few store bought raisins for a comparison. The grapes were originally the big ones from Costco.  

I did dry out some canned peaches, not the greatest. We also did some cranberries that we had in the freezer for several months, again, not the greatest.

If I get enough requests I will add a picture of the actual food dehydrator.

More Free Stuff!

Remember the iPod Shuffle post? The one talking about how I got one for "free"? Well... Here are two more "free" items!


To be frank, the camera is "garbage" the flashlights work great! The camera was from another "free trial", the flashlights came from R.C. Willey. We got a call telling us about free pie, ice cream and something about batteries. Amanda answered the phone but Ella was being loud at the time so she didn't get the whole thing. The batteries, obviously, came with the flashlights.

So I had been waiting for the camera for several months now. Thought it would come in time to put it under the tree for Christmas but it ended up appearing a week or two ago. Took some pictures and tested it out. Wasn't impressed with it out of the packaging, wasn't impressed with the pictures or video. I wasn't really expecting much but hoped that a 7 mp camera would turn out decent pictures. NOT!

Now the flashlights felt kind of cheap to me but they work great! Thank-you R.C. Willey.
